The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) blockbuster funding model allows the SFO the flexibility to take on the complex and high value cases for which it was established. SFO officials meet regularly with my staff and with Treasury officials to review the financial position and we will continue to work closely with Treasury colleagues to ensure that the SFO has an effective and sustainable funding model.
